Ruby & Ivory Grace – Red Roses and White Lilies Vase

Flower Care – Ruby & Ivory Grace

This arrangement combines red roses, white lilies with developing buds, small daisy-style flowers and decorative greenery in a lace-trimmed vase.

• Choose a cool location: Display the arrangement indoors away from direct sunlight, heaters, strong air-conditioning drafts and ripening fruit.
• Check the water source: If the flowers are arranged in floral foam, add small amounts of clean water carefully to keep the foam moist without wetting the decorative lace or twine. If the stems stand in water instead, maintain a fresh water level and change the water when practical.
• Care for the red roses: Keep the blooms dry and handle the petals gently. Remove only damaged outer petals or fully faded flowers when needed; avoid crushing the rose heads.
• Help the white lilies bloom: Some buds will open gradually. Once a lily opens, carefully remove the pollen-bearing anthers with tissue before pollen falls, taking care not to bruise the white petals.
• Refresh daisy-style flowers and greenery: Remove faded daisy blooms and yellowing foliage gently to keep the display fresh.
• Protect the decorated vase: Keep the exterior, lace and twine dry. Carry the arrangement from the base and avoid tipping it when adding water.

Important cat safety warning: True lilies (Lilium) are extremely toxic to cats. All parts of the plant, including petals, leaves, pollen and even water that has held lilies, can cause life-threatening kidney injury. Keep this arrangement out of homes with cats. If a cat may have had any exposure, seek emergency veterinary care immediately.

As natural flowers mature, lily buds may open and the arrangement may vary slightly in appearance.
